STEPS FOR ADDING INPUT HARMONIC CONSTITUENTS TABLE
Click to the E button
which is next to Harmonics (See Harmonic Boundary Series#Figure 1)
Enter the Number of Series, which is 1 for this case (see Harmonic Boundary Series#Figure 2)
Enter the Title of Series, as "Tides"
Enter the Number of Harmonic Constituents to Use, in the case there are 8.
Copy the tidal constituent values from above table into the form.
You may want to click View button in the Harmonic Boundary Series#Figure 2 to see the tidal timeseries plot as shown in Harmonic Boundary Series#Figure 3
Click Close and Return to exit the plot
Click OK button in the Harmonic Boundary Series#Figure 2 to finish.

to assign tides to the open boundary cells, steps are introduced in section 4.3.2 (Build a 3D Coastal Model (Level 2 Step-by-Step Guidance). However, instead of choosing tidal series for Pressure, the user selects the series for Harmonic as shown in Harmonic Boundary Series#Figure 4.
